Christmas Talk Show 2019 (4)

   Hoffman, 82,  shared memories of his career that includes Best Actor Academy Awards for "Kramer vs.Kramer" and "Rain Man."
   He described how the divorce he experienced during filming the former helped him portray a character experiencing a breakup, rather than approximating the feeling from studying someone else's experience.
   He said, "Here, I felt like what I am going through on a daily basis, I can just go right to work and do and feel and try to portray exactly what I'm going through now." 
   He recounted with affection how he and co-star Kaherine Ross in "The Graduate" were coached by late director Mike Nichols through the climactic scene on a bus, which he explained was done out of sequence halfway through filming. 
   Hoffman said he didn't know about Dr.Handa before being invited to the event, but subsequently learned of his philanthropic activities at a hospital in Cambodia, and expressed admiration.
   He said to Dr.Handa, "God bless you for doing that because you're bringing it home and it's important." He finally said,"And than you," drawing applause.
